SHAMEFUL ABUSE
Heaped Upon Noted Englishman for His
Open Honesty.

ing open letter TO the editor of the
London Family Doctor:
IL believe it to be the duty of every
physician to make known any means
or remedy whereby sickness can be
prevented, and il is for this purpose |
write to give my experience both here
and abroad ! ask the publication oil
the statement that people may be
warned before il is too late, TO say to
them that there is at hand means by
which they may be restored to perfect
health. 1t is well known to the medi-
cal world, and indeed, to the laity, that
a certain disease is making a terrible
havoci that next TO consumption it is
the most fatal, and that when fully
developed there is nothing to be done
for the sufferer"
Physicians and scientists have long
been trying TO throw light upon the
cause, and if possible, find in nature a
medicine for this fatal malady. They
have shown, absolutely, that the blood
purifying organs of vital Importance.
are the kidneys, and that when they
once fail the poison which they should
take out of the blood is carried by the
blood into every part Of the body, de-
veloping disease.
''In my hospital practice in England,
India and South America, and also
while surgeon in the Royal Navy of
Great Britain, gave a great deal of at
tention TO the study Of diseases of the
kidneys and urinary organs, and found
that not only was the cure Of chronic
Bright's Disease hopeless, but that kid
pey disease was remarkably prevalent;
much more So than generally known,
and was the cause of the majority of
cases of sickness. ami further, that the
medical profession has no remedy
which exerts any absolute control over
these organs in disease"
.'Some time ago when had case
which resisted all regular treatment, -
which ia very limited, complicated
with the passing of stones from the kid
neys, much against my will l per-
mitted my patient to use Warmers safe
cure. of which I had heard marve-
loug results. In his case the result
was simply marvellous az the at
attack was q severe one, and devel-
opment very grave, for an analysis
showed per cent. of albumen and granu-
'ar tube casts"
1.-The action of the medicine was
singular and lncOmprehensibie TO nae.
| had never seen anything like it. The
patient recovered promptly, and is to-
day a well and healthy man. This
stimulated my inquiry into the merits
OF the remedy, and after analysis l
found 1t to be Of purely vegetable char
acter, harmless to take under all cir
cumstances.
Casting aside all professional preju-
dice gave it a thorough trial. as | was
anxious that my patients should be re-
stored to health, no matter by what med
icine. / prescribed it in agEeat variety
of cases, Acute, Chronic, Bright's Dis
ease, Congestion of the Kidneys, Ca
tarrh of the Bladder, and in every in
stance did it speedily effect a cure"
''For this reason | deem it my duty
to give to the world this statement re-
garding the value of Warmers safe
cure. ! make this statement on facts
/ am prepared TO produce ana supstan-
tiate. l appeal to physicians of large
practice who know how common and
deceptive diseases of the kidneys are, to
lay aside professional prejudice, give
their patients Warmers safe cure, re-
store them to perfect health, earn their
gratitude, andth be true physicians. Z"
al am satisfied that more than one
half of the deaths which occur in Eng
land are caused primarily, by impaired
action of the kidneys, and the conse-
cuent retention in the blood of the poi
sonous uric and kidney acid. Warner s
safe cure causes the kidneys to expel
this poison, checks the escape of albu-
men, relieves the inflammation and pre-
vents illness from impaired and inn pow
erished blood. Having had more than
seventeen years experience in my pro-
fession, conscientiously and emphat-
ically state that / have been able to
give more relief and effect more cures
by the use of Warmers safe cure than
by all the other medicines asce-tainable
20 the profession, the majority of which
| am sorry to say, are very uncertain in
their action"
''Isn't that straightforward, manly
letter."
"Indeed it is"
"Well, but do you know the author
has been dreadfully prosecuted for
writing it?"
'.IIow SOP What has he done to
merit ita'i
"DoneP He has spoken the truth out
of school and his fellow physicians,
who want the public to thinR
they have a monopoly in curing dis
eases, are terribly angry with him fol
admitting professional inability to reach
certain disorders.
THAT letter created wonderful sem
sation among the titled classes and the
public. This Jared the doctors ter
ribly. The College of Surgeons and
Queens college, from which institution
he was graduated, asked for an ex-
PLANTATION of his unprofessional conduct,
and notified him that unless he made a
retraction they would discipline him.
1.-The doctor replied that he allowed
his patients to make use of Warmers
safe cure only after all the regular
methods had failed, and when he was
satisfied that there was no possible hope
for them. Upon their recovery, after
having used Warmers safe cure, he
was so much surprised that he wrote
the above letter to the Family Doctor.
He regretted that the faculties found
fault with his action in the matter, but
he could not conscientiously retract the
facts rs written to the Family Doctor.
1.-The faculties of both colleges replied
that unless he retracted they should cut
him of, which would naturally debdT
him from again predicting his profession
and also prevent his securing another
in the Royal Navyr
The illustrious doctors dilemma is
certainly an unpleasant one, emphasiz-
ing, as it does, both his own honesty.
and the contemplate prejudice and
bigotry of English medical men. The
masses, however, having no sympathy
with their nonsense, keep on using the
remedy he so highly recommends and
get well, while the rich and able depend
upon the prejudiced doctors and die!
